would do better.
The Brennan Oil Mills will make ex-
tensive improvements during the coming
summer. This mill will be made one OF
the largest, if not the largest and most
complete in the interior.
New improvements are going up daily
in Wolfe City, and in the near future the
citizens hope to have telephone, arte-
sian well, bank, building and loan asso-
citation and good high school.
Crop prospects throughout Grimes
county are very flsttering, aud if nothing
| happens the yield will be much larger
than any past year in the history of the
county. Farmers reall in good spirits.
The crop prospects in Johnson county
we're certainly never more tiatterlng at
this season of the year. The corn on
many farms is silking and the rain that
! fell Sunday came in most opportune
time.
Hubbard City News: Hail fell last
! Sunday on the ridge between this place
and Mt. Calm. Old settlers in this sec
ton say that on this ridge, which is the
highest one in this section of country,
nail falls at sometime, generally in the
| spring, every year.
| The LeWisvilIe denton county, Head
| light says: Wheat harvesting is about
over, the yield is believed to be some
thing near sixteen bushels per acre, some
crops will make as high as twenty-five
! bushels per acre while others will make
not more than ten or twelve.
Cameron and vicinity were visited by 8
good rain on last Sunday eve. Most Of
the farmers had worked their crops out
since the preceding rains and this one
came in good time. The cotton is also
| looking well, and some farmers are SHOW
ing blooms.
The reports from Aurora are that there
was a splendid shower last Friday and
prospects for heavy corn and cotton
crop are fattering. Wheat harvest is
progressing favorably, and oats are much
improved on many farms, while fruits,
vegetables, grass, etc, will all be album
dant and fine.
Flatonie Argus: Mr.. Charles Ling, who
resides near town, brought in quite Gu
riosity in the vegetable, line on Saturday
last. He called it a snake CuCumoe it
is presumed, because it was three feet,
three inches long, and green, in cOiled
position. 1t was not full grown either,
and ne promises US to bring larger one.
GreenviIle Herald: There has not
been hitch in the prosecution OF the
work on the waterworks since active
operations began. The stand pipe will
cer.sinly be one of the attractive fea-
lures of the city, as it is TO be surmount-
ed with an electric light. "Greenville
enlghtening Texas!" How will that
sound?
The Pilot Point Roller Mill building is
now completed. The structure is massive,
and is designed for great strength and
endurance against fire and the friction
and motion of the heaviest machinery.
The edifice is 32xG0 feet, and four stories
high, measuring tifty-fve feet from the
basement to the simulated comb, the roof
being almost fat, the whole constructed
after the most modern and approved style
of mill architecture.
Kaufman Sun: Everybody says this
portion of Kaufman county is going to
make the biggest crop of corn ever known
to be made in the county. Some say they
viii make fifty and sixty bushels to the
acre without another rain. Tie oat crop
is almost as good, and wheat is splendid
Cotton is fairly humping itself, and with
occasional light showers q great deal
more will be made than can be gathered
without imported help. Kaufman county
and above all old Kaufman are on the eve
of the grandest boom ever heard Of.
The Hardeman County News has this
TO say for the county seat and the country
around: Margaret is in the center of
rich agricultural district. The surround
ing land is just rolling enough to she0 the
water, and nearly every foot OF land out
side of the beds of the streams is tillable
soil. Corn, all cereals, cotton snd all
garden vegetables that have been tried,
grow to perfection here, and when all
this out-layibg land is brought into cult
walton Margaret will be big town and
good trading point.
